The never ending hole digging saga continuums

Posted by Greg Parker in mini-WASP Array, Projects

Like something from a Douglas Adams novel, the hole takes on an existence of its own.

The 20″ x 20″ hole is now 3 foot deep – one more foot to go.  I hadn’t appreciated what a pain it is to get the soil out of a deep narrow hole.

    Today I visited the New Forest Telescope Mines – very impressive hole. Suggested to Greg that it didn’t really need to be much deeper, but I don’t think that’s going to stop him!

    What you needed was a drainer Greg, great value for money for difficult holes:

    (I’ve recently done a 10m x 1m deep x 0.45m trench in our garden)
